South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR), Part 1 records

  • ZA HPRA AD843B
  • collection
  • 1908 - 1962

The "B" box collection relates mainly to the period 1930 to 1950, although there are some documents as early as 1926 and some all late as 1961. This inventory boar the title "Part I" as there have been subsequent deposits of the Institute's archives which will be inventoried at a later date.

The "B" box collection has been retained as an entity in accordance with Standard archival practice and the files have been kept in their original order. Many of the files overlap and contain material irrelevant to the subject matter of the file. In view of the extensive use made of the collection over the last ten years by researchers who took references according to the then existing arrangement, it was decided not to re-sort. The present box numbers have been retained, but the files which previously bore an alphabetical notation have now been given a numerical one, e.g. the original 4f now becomes 4.6.

This inventory lists the number of items in each file, mention the names of the principal correspondents, indicates the subject field and itemises anything of particular importance. A brief sketch of the Institute is included and a comprehensive index of all personal names mentioned in the inventory and of selective subject fields has been provided, thus bringing together scattered subjects. The words "Native", "African", "Bantu" and "Non-European" have been used where they were the approved nomenclature of the day.

Subjects covered are the social and economic conditions of Blacks, Coloureds and Indians, with particular reference to education, literacy, land, farm labour, labour relations, housing, the urban Black, health and welfare services, medical training, juvenile delinquency, the liquor problem, discriminatory legislation and penal reform. This collection, covering almost three decades, in of great importance to economic, social and political historians.

Federation of South African Trade Unions (FOSATU) records

  • ZA HPRA AH1999
  • collection
  • 1939 - 1986

This inventory (no.17) describes the Records of the Federation of South African Trade Unions (FOSATU) and covers the years 1939-1986.
The records inventoried pertain mainly to FOSATU (1977-1986) as well as to the South African Trades and Labour Council (1939-1954), The Trade Union Advisory and Co-ordinating Council (1974-1979), Central Administration Services (1973-1984), and the Institute for Industrial Education (1973-1980).

The records are of considerable interest to the historian, the industrial sociologist and the student of politics. There is much about the internal organisation of FOSATU including the activities of its committees, its education projects, its affiliates, its dealings with overseas labour organisations, as well as other trade union bodies and non-trade union organisations. Subjects covered are: the rise of black trade unionism, labour legislation, 'racial registration' recognition agreements, health and safety, working conditions, strikes, and trade union unity.

The records are classified into separate national bodies. They are further sub-divided into the broad categories of national organisation, regional and special topics. The records are separated by form into minutes, reports, memoranda, correspondence, printed items and press cuttings. A brief history of FOSATU, comprehensive index of all personal names and selected subject fields, and a table of the development of black trade unions from 1972-1984 have been provided.
